Qué contiene
Resumen con IA This law would allow families to file a lawsuit for the wrongful death of an unborn child. It defines an unborn child as a human organism from the moment of fertilization until live birth. By making this change, the law ensures that the right to sue for a death survives even if the unborn child is the one who died. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to the survival of, and the bringing of a cause of action for, the wrongful death of an unborn child. Code section 611.20 (actions survive) provides that all causes of action shall survive and may be brought notwithstanding the death of the person entitled or liable to the cause of action. The bill amends the Code section to provide that specifically for the purposes of the survival of, and the bringing of a cause of action for, wrongful death of an unborn child, “person” includes the unborn child. The bill defines “unborn child” as an individual organism of the species homo sapiens from fertilization to live birth.
